DV TLS/SSL certificate enrollment in CertCentral
Domain Validation (DV) TLS/SSL certificate enrollment focuses on verifying control of the domain before certificate issuance. DV certificates are typically issued quickly because they do not require verification of organizational identity.
Compared to other certificate types, DV enrollment:
Requires only proof of domain control.
Does not include organization identity verification.
Completes faster than OV or EV enrollment.
Common validation methods
DV enrollment uses one or more of the following validation methods:
Email-based domain control validation (DCV)
DNS-based domain control validation (DCV)
HTTP or HTTPS-based validation
The available methods depend on domain configuration and account settings.
Lifecycle considerations
After issuance, DV certificates follow the same lifecycle processes as other TLS certificates: renewal before expiration, reissue when domain information changes, and revocation if required.
